Failed to progress as a juvenile after showing initial promise. Eighth of 12, no impression approaching straight, soon no extra on hurdle debut at Cork.

0-15, with only one finish in the money on the Flat, which came at here three starts ago, when second of seven. Sire Power, tough two-year-old, won National Stakes, having his first National Hunt runner here.

Has tended to find things hard going in Flat turf handicaps over 1m/1m1½f recently. Promising third of 12 on hurdle debut in Cork 2m maiden.

Well beaten in three maidens but ran commendable race over 1m at Gowran Park on soft to heavy ground. By Holy Roman Emperor, related to John Flint's dour hurdler, Ayla's Emperor.

Finished well behind Richard Strauss on hurdling debut in Cork maiden over 2m on Yielding ground. Will have to show a lot more here.

No impression on only Flat start, when sixth of eight, 15L behind Pearl Of The West in Gowran Park maiden. Interesting runner for trainer/jockey combo.

Forecasts

Richard Strauss (1/1), Thomas O'Malley (2/1), Make It Hurrah (5/1), Pronounced (9/1), Minnie Dahill (9/1), Sonic Wind (20/1), Little Princess (33/1), Masterstonemason (40/1), Silk King (40/1), Elusive John (66/1), Nobleman (66/1)

Verdict

Based on their Flat performances and style of running, we could see Sonic Wind and Elusive John cutting out the running in the early stages here, with Nobleman and Richard Strauss next, the latter, promising third of 12 on hurdle debut in Cork 2m maiden, can be in the mix here with Thomas O'Malley and Make It Hurrah, thereabouts, but preference is for PRONOUNCED, who looks an interesting National Hunt recruit.
